The Catch
You see, the two had managed to catch some 500 kilograms, or 1,100 lb, of fresh fish. Which sounds great but in reality, it wasn’t. The weight of the fish was a massive problem because it made it far too difficult to maneuver the boat, especially in bouts of bad weather. Therefore, only one option remained, they had to throw their catch overboard in order to survive.
And Then?
Now as the days turned into weeks, Alvarenga and Córdoba learned to scavenge food from absolutely whatever presented itself. Alvarenga had even managed to catch some fish, turtles, jellyfish, and seabirds just with his bare hands. Moreover any time some food or plastic refuse floated past them in the water, they snatched hold of it.
